Abstract

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is the most common infection seen after kidney transplantation and is seen in 30–40% of recipients during the first 4 months after transplantation. Risk of both graft loss and mortality appears to be related to the time of occurrence of the infection after transplantation. Potential risk factors for development of UTI include contaminated perfusion solution, advanced age, female gender, history of reflux kidney disease, cadaveric donor, pretransplantation UTI, prolonged period of hemodialysis, polycystic kidney disease, diabetes mellitus, etc. Urinary bladder is the most common site of UTI after renal transplant and is involved in nearly 95% cases, followed by pyelonephritis. A detailed discussion on the etiologic agents, risk factors, site of infection, clinical presentation, diagnosis, general measures, treatment, atypical infections, and recurrent urinary tract infection with some other important topic has been also provided in this chapter.
